Airbus and Boeing have released their orders and deliveries for January 2025, showing a split in achievements between the two aerospace giants. Boeing took the lead in aircraft deliveries, while Airbus excelled in securing new orders.

In terms of deliveries, Boeing outpaced Airbus by delivering 45 aircraft in January, compared to Airbus's 25. This marked an increase from Boeing's 27 deliveries in January 2024. The American manufacturer delivered 40 of its popular 737 MAX jets along with other models like the 777F and various versions of the 787 Dreamliner. Notably, nine of these aircraft were delivered to airlines based in China and India.

Airbus delivered fewer aircraft but maintained a steady output with 23 single-aisle jets and two widebodies. The European company saw its A350 models being received by Emirates and Japan Airlines among others. Its single-aisle deliveries included several A220s destined for U.S.-based airlines.

On the orders front, Airbus edged ahead with a total of 55 gross orders, primarily from undisclosed customers. These included various models such as the A320neo family and different versions of the A350. Lufthansa and STARLUX Airlines added to this tally with additional A350 orders.

Boeing recorded fewer orders than Airbus, securing two deals from unidentified customers totaling 36 aircraft. These included significant orders for the 737 MAX series and a couple of 777Fs.

Boeing's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Brian West highlighted that as of December 31, 2024, the company had numerous aircraft built before 2023 still in inventory, including many intended for Chinese and Indian airlines. He noted ongoing efforts to address testing requirements for certain models.

The data reveals contrasting strengths between Airbus and Boeing at the start of the year: Boeing leading in delivery numbers while Airbus secured more new business through fresh orders.
